The Budget announced on 27 October 2021 included a number of measures which will support the Government's ambition to create a globally successful, innovative and sustainable UK shipbuilding enterprise, including the extension of the Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition to a multi-year programme as part of the Government’s commitment to a UK Shipping Office for Reducing Emissions (UK-SHORE).

Further detail of our plans will be set out in the National Shipbuilding Refresh, which will be published later this year.
